oldies1955 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hey all: Welp, got out today with dad and did some swinging. Went to a totally new area. It was really different geology from what im used to. Very quite ground, no trash and some beige colored shist.Im thinking, this is not gold country. Well, lo and behold I pop a dink in a small drainage on the side of a hill. Nothing in the washes. I hunted high and low in the area trying to find his reletives but to no avail. This one was down in the shist a couple of inches. It breaks apart like dried clay. The beige shist is all over that area and I cant figure out why there would not have been anymore gooshed up close by the dink. The more gold I find the less I think I have it figured out! Well, good day out, Good Lord blessed us with some gold and we got back out safely.Its a massive .4 gram!The other nugs on the left of the pic are from a few days ago in a area that the floods replenished for us. Total weight is 3.5 grams. Tom H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roo Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hi Tom. Nice gold, all gold is good gold, big or small. I know what you mean about thinking you have it figured! I get home after finding an odd spot bit and think "I know whats happened here, this and that" I get back and find that "this and that" don't even come into the equation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
